What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
"He sought an opportunity" to betray Him to them when He was alone, for they feared the multitude, and for this reason they paid Judas to inform them when Jesus would be alone.
Western Saints
Jerome
But they agreed to give him thirty pieces of silver. And from then on he was looking for an opportunity to betray him. Joseph was not sold for twenty gold pieces, as many think according to the Septuagint translators, but according to the Hebrew Truth, for twenty silver pieces; for no servant could be more precious than the Lord.
Thomas Aquinas
And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him. Here is set forth the solicitude. And why did he do this? So that he might carry out the crime more easily and more secretly, as it is with sinners, because every one that doth evil hateth the light, John 3:20; and Job 24:15: the eye of the adulterer observeth darkness.
